SHIP BOARD HOLDS
DESTINY OF PORT
Philadelphia's Munition
Shipping Value Well
Known to Committee
ADMIT ITS ADVANTAGES
The fate of the port of 1'IillJdelphla
as a means nf gettlne munitions nnd
supplies to Kurope economically and
riulckly now rests In tho hitml of th
three men who composo tho committee
on ship control of the United State
Shipping Board. These men have been
told by Philadelphia's i (preventative
how easily the facilities of tlls port
can he used to accelcrato the movement
of cargoes to Uuropo.
Tho ship-control committee consists
of P. A. S. Franklin, president of the
International Mercantile Marine : Sir
Connop Guthrie, head of tho Allies'
Shipping Hoard, nnd H. H. Kaymond,
a leader In New York shlpbulldlnc nnd
controller of that port under tho Ship
ping Board'H nppolntment.
All three hao admitted tho excellent
railroad, pier and harbor facilities of
fered In tho port of Philadelphia. Sir
Connop Iibb even declined that his
Government tho British Ie now ready
to ship more poods than herctofoia
through tills port. Both Mr. Raymond
and Mr. Franklin hao admitted the
advantages of Philadelphia.
Tha ship-control committee members
havo been given tho power by the United
States Shipping Board to send thin
whero they will In ports of tho United
States. They are rcfponstblo now for
the. efllclcnt and rapid handling of
freight consigned to the battlefields of
Kurope. ltallroad Director General Mc
Adoo has promised co-operation In get
ting the freight to designated (seaport
Tho Army and Xavy Departments havo
made similar piomlses. Men working
for proper utilization of the port of Phil
adelphia Fay nothing stands In tho way
of this committee carrjlng out Its work
to the best advantago of tho nation.
Philadelphia has facilities to handle
at least BO per cent more cargoes than
havo been asMgned her In tho last sev
eral months.
Mayor Smith, through George S. Web
ster, Director of Wharves, Docks nnd
Ferries, Has placed the arguments for
Using this port before tho railroad ad
ministration and the United States Ship
ping Board. Similar action' has been
taken by tho Chamber of Commerce
through Its Foreign Trado Bureau. Tho
Commercial Emergency Committee on
Transportation of the Allied Trado
Bodies of Philadelphia has entered the
fight with a request to Mr. McAdoo to
have the Shipping Board send ships
here to relievo tho eastern freight con
gestion which evolved from trying to
cram nil cargoes through the port of
New York.
Mr. Franklin was visited by A. Homer
Smith, repnsentlng tho foreign trades
bureau of tho Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Franklin was urged to visit this
port and to bring tho other members of
his committee with him to seo for them
selves the advantages of shipping
through It. No reply lias yet been re
ceived from Mr. Franklin.
The foreign trades bureau of the
Chamber of Commerce will meet tomor
row to develop plana for carrying Its
campaign for the use of Philadelphia
before the committee on ship control.
The port of Baltimore has shared In
part with the port of New York In being
allowed to handle war shipments. All
arguments that might be used for use
of the port of Baltimore to relieve New
York would be only the stronger In the
case of Philadelphia. Baltimore and New
York are virtually the same distance
from Philadelphia,
Arguments havo been advanced by
New York shipping Interests that the
convoy system of tho navy would not
warrant ships sent to New York being
diverted to Philadelphia. Tho same ar
gument has not been used In tho caso
of Baltimore, which Is just twice the
distance south of New York.
The Merchants and Manufacturers'
Association and other Baltimore organi
zations foresaw last summer what would
be the result of constant shipping
through New York. They went to tne
western shippers and showed them how
Baltimore could be used, to advantage.
This created a habit that has been fol
lowed up by the Government.

A Mieclal election In New Jirsey would

On tho other hand, many Democrats ;

Is countered with tho contention that

by his urging tho Democratic party In

Tho Republican party Is united, while
the Democrats nre divided, and It would
